Question, I am running sysprep on XP home to deploy to customers. I have installed a PCI card that requires a static IP address. After I run sysprep and test the system, sysprep automatically sets the TCP/IP settings to DHCP. Is there any way that I can force a static IP into the card?

I will assume you have the latest version of ghost, start
by setting up your machine to the exact configuration
you want it and then.

Open Ghost Console>Create new task>tick clone, tick
configuration

Select default under configuration tab as this will
remember any settings the computer previously had.

I recommend using ghost walker instead of sysprep
unless you have different hardware in the computers.

If you are on a domain make sure that you set up the
ghost image off the domain when you create the image
as this will affect your computers keeping their existing
configuration.

Hope it helps

You definitely have to run SYSPREP if you are going to clone it to multiple machines. If you are talking about a NIC that needs a static IP address unfortunatly when you use sysprep it will set the system back to DHCP. WinXP assumes your running sysprep to distributed that image to your network. It doesn't want 50 computers all with the same IP address
